Despite the context of a delicate financial situation that prevented the FC Barcelona make all the desired additions this season, Joan Laporta He expressed his optimism to redirect it and finish the year with profits to start getting out of the tunnel to sign now with the 1/1 rule in the next summer market. “If we fulfill the ‘fair play’, that phase will end, which is part of the legacy we received. We have a budget that if met, will give us benefits. It is planned that this will be achieved without having to sell assets or player. When we arrived, we had 500 million in losses and 1,500 million in debt. If last year we had made a profit and responded to our own funds with a large amount, and we changed the debt, now we are in a very good path. We reduced the League debt from 1,850 million to 652, we reduced the sports wage bill by 172 million. The wage bill was 98% of revenue and now it is 57%. To have ‘fair play’, we need let’s have positive results, which we have thanks to the levers, are real, and now we can reduce the wage bill, which is what LaLiga allows us,” said the president of Barça.

But that doesn’t mean we don’t have ‘fair play’ because we reduce the club’s general expenses by 22%. “If we work like we did, we’ll have a surplus too.”
Regarding the alternatives for the payment of “this sales lever of 24.5% of Barça Studios“, Reporter explained that “there are other candidates that will cover that percentage and some have a technological side and this line of business has to be related to this area.
